With the end of a year, and a decade merely hours away, its time to start thinking about 2010, what are your goals for the coming year. i myself plan to make much more time for climbing and backpacking, as well as make a trip to the top of some of the larger mountains America has to offer. have any special plans or intentions? I’d love to hear from you, leave a comment on this post for your 2010 adenture goals.
Patrick is a lover of all things adventure and photography. When he is not at home in Northeast PA, he can be found traveling with his camera and climbing. One of his most memorable experiences outdoors is his recent summit of Mount Rainier.
My New Year’s resolution for 2010 is to give in at least twice to the backpacking instinct.
Too often I and others feel the call, the instinct, the lure of embarking on an epic trip – whether it’s a rim-to-rim backpack of the Grand Canyon or a week in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. But we fail ourselves by giving into the rational reasons for why not to go, be it family commitments or a job or the physical demands or the cost.
This year, I’m pledging to heed the call twice and do at least two “epic” trips; to ignore all the reasons why I shouldn’t go and give in to the instinct.
